text: remote only<p>I&#x27;m looking for someone familiar with React, TypeScript and SVG.<p>The project is a &quot;Raven Progressive Matrices&quot; editor. There are a lot of test questions based on that original idea, some involving 3 by 3 squares, clocks, &quot;pie charts&quot;, etc.<p>The idea is to have an parametrized editor where the user can create their own question using a specific template. After choosing a template, the user can tweak the parameters for each of the 8 positions of the test (1 is an empty space, which the test taker must figure out) plus the 8 possible answers. The simplest template would be this one [1], more complex ones can involve showing multiple figures and rotating them.<p>After creating their own question, the user can export to PNG and the parameters are POSTed to the server.<p>The project should done be in a way that adding new &quot;questions templates&quot; would be a matter of creating a new React Component and defining its possible parameters. For instance, one component that displays a &quot;pie chart&quot; as shown bellow plus eight booleans indicating which part of the pie is filled. [2]<p>See examples of such questions here:

Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web &amp; mobile applications, APIs, products, and services.<p>Pair programming, continuous integration &amp; delivery, kaizen, and TDD&#x2F;BDD aren&#x27;t just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.<p>We love polyglots. We use lots of Ruby, Python, Elixir, and JavaScript (mostly React and React-Native).<p>As PromptWorks grows, so does demand on our engineering team.

In those cases, we like to work with seasoned, versatile contractors that are excited to dive in. We are seeking experienced freelance engineers to mutually expand our business.<p>Skills we are currently looking for:<p><pre><code>  • Ruby &amp; Rails

text: Remote<p>Looking for UX&#x2F;Product Designers (and more)<p>Hello everyone!
I’m Noel. I saved some money and now I want to invest it in some personal projects during my free time.<p>I need people for:
* Creating logos
* Creating UI&#x2F;UX designs (with no user-research. I’ll do the user-research and I’ll just send you the pages&#x2F;features that needs to be created)
* Writing good product descriptions or product speech (you know, explaining how a feature works, and “why you should pay for this product”)<p>It’s not gonna be a full-time job.
Every time I need to start a new project, I’ll send an email to a few of you, asking for how much time do you think it can take to finish the project (anyway, I’ll try to not work with fixed prices, but it will help to get a cost estimation).
If I choose you, I’ll send you a full detail of the pages&#x2F;features that need to be created, and I’ll trust in your creativity and your UX experience, in order to create them. So, you are going to be responsible for defining the UX (more fun for you) with some input from my side.<p>So, if you can do some of those task mentioned above, send me an email to brodanoel@gmail.com
Please, the email should contain:
* Your portfolio or any kind of work that you already worked on (please, don’t bother you sending a PERFECT portfolio. Just send something)
* How much time have you taken creating each of your portfolio projects? (Will be helpful to get some cost estimations)
* Your rate (USD per hour) (consider that I’m not a company. It’s just a couple of side projects)<p>Important: I’m not in a hurry with none of the coming project. I WILL NOT request things to be done “yesterday”. We’ll have time. The job is going to be chill out.<p>I hope to see you there!<p>PS.: Please, only freelancers. No companies.

text: Fully Remote, with presences in Seattle and NYC.<p>We&#x27;re a small startup in the residential construction tech space looking for some extra product velocity for the next ~3 months, maybe longer. Full-time or part-time - either is fine.  Possibly multiple freelancers, depending on the situation.<p>Looking specifically for help in React Native, though experience with Rails would potentially be helpful.  Also interested in engaging with a small team if that means you can take on some UX&#x2F;design work.<p>The main thing that we&#x27;re looking for is a trusted partner - someone who we can give parts of our roadmap to and feel comfortable and confident that they&#x27;ll get that work done at a good pace and with good communication.  Everything else, we&#x27;re flexible on.<p>If you&#x27;re interested, my email and company website are in my profile.  Drop me a line and let me know how you think you can help

text: REMOTE or ONSITE(around HK: Guangzhou,Macau,Shenzhen,Taiwan,etc) | 20-40h per week<p>Sorry for the vague description but I can tell you more about the product we&#x27;re building when you apply. Hopefully I can attract you in a sufficient way with our tech stack! (see below). [NOTE: this is not a pie-in-the-sky venture, you would be joining a team who has a 1.5+year-old working product, with prospects of new greenfield products built around the first.]<p>Job positions:<p>- Build engineer: you are a Linux-er who has some past experience building deb or rpm packages, are excited about reproducible builds, and are willing to learn (if you don&#x27;t already know) new things such as snap or flatpak. gitlabCI and&#x2F;or githubActions is a plus. (Might do some DevOps work after we come out of stealth mode as well; with Pulumi and RedShift)<p>- C#&#x2F;.NET developer: generics, LINQ, VisualStudio, EntityFramework et al are your bread and butter. You value the diversity that comes from learning other languages and tech-stacks but also the stability that a robust platform like .NET provides, which you based your career on. Desirable to be familiar with Xamarin, but not required. F# is a plus.<p>- Rust developer: you dealt with C&#x2F;C++&#x2F;Objective-C in the past but are ready to move on. However, you&#x27;re still not convinced about garbage collected languages, so you have been looking at Rust lately, or willing to learn it. You&#x27;re not a smart-ass though, so you would be excited to expose your Rust code&#x27;s API to be consumed by higher level languages.<p>- FP developer: you value immutability and lack of side effects because you have lived the nightmares of race conditions and heisenbugs in your career. You&#x27;re disgusted with most job positions out there because the tech-stack described in most of them don&#x27;t look safe enough to be serious (sure they can build snapchats with them, but not robust software that would end up being used by NASA or Waymo). Desirable to be familiar with F#.<p>- Desktop&#x2F;mobile developer: you cringe at the idea of &quot;Electron apps&quot;, because you think native frameworks like QT or gtk+ give much power and maintainability (plus, performance aside, javascript is a joke in any other aspect too). But you also understand why garbage-collected languages are safer and more productive than low-level ones, and there are many of these much more decent than JS. (gtk is preferred for this position at the moment; or someone willing to switch)<p>- SmartContracts&#x2F;blockchain developer: you&#x27;ve used&#x2F;developed smart contracts in languages such as Ivy, MiniScript, or Solidity(EVM), or are willing to learn this technology. Desirable to have familiarity with atomic swaps, HTLCs or zero knowledge proofs. Excited about things like bitcoin, ethereum, mimblewimble&#x2F;grin, DAI, etc<p>Important perk for all positions: all the code&#x2F;scripts you&#x27;ll write (being paid of course) will be opensource, at least for the first 3months.<p>Write me at andrew.forsure@gmail.com<p>PS: Abstain from applying if you expect a lead&#x2F;managerial role, because the team is not yet big enough to need extra leadership for now.<p>PS II: In case you&#x27;re only interested in joining part-time, note: I wouldn&#x27;t find it acceptable if you join us to work remotely part-time while keeping your full-time job. Part-time only works with your own side-projects, or other additional part-time job (because resting is important).
